Are you tired of the same old DIY projects? Well, in this video, I share 10 unique upcycling and repurposing projects using easy to find thrift store items.
These projects include a Mackenzie Childs’ inspired rabbit totem, a wall clock, a tin tile makeover, a modern terrarium, a botanical cloche, a double frame, a spool tray, a floral lamp with coordinating lamp shade, a propagation center, and a repurposed mirror.

  • Sherry there is no other crafter out there quite as creative as you. I am continually blown away by your ideas. You never cease to amaze me. I truly love your channel.❤❤❤
  • If there were an award for creativity on YouTube, you would win. Hands down! I love watching you work. The rabbit totem pole dupe is better than the Mackenzie Childs version and I love the clock shelf. You inspire me. I can only imagine how you must have influenced young minds in your English classes. You’re the best! ❤
  • No the thread is half of the character of what was left on the old spools I'd leave the thread on there for extra color and Pop I Love It
  • The tile is beautiful. It looks more like an architectural salvage piece than a thrift store find.
  • What can I say, Sherry? Once again your creativeness just has no limits! Loved the rabbit totem pole. So whimsical and precious too! Love the clock tower shelf too. But I might as well go ahead and admit, I loved all the projects. I get so inspired every time I watch one of your videos! Thanks so much for sharing all of these ideas. Super job!

    Sherry you say you're not an artist. You most certainly are..... Artists just don't draw or paint a portrait. You have an incredible artistic mind that just won't quit. Thank You for the tons of amazing projects you share with us.♥️
  • I just want to go to the thrift store and buy a whole box of odd things to send to you just to watch what you do with it all. Your creativity is off the chart. I am always amazed when I watch your videos.
  • Every time I watch your videos I continue to be amazed at your creativity and ideas for projects that look so great and are dupes for higher priced items.
  • Shaking my head and trying to figure out how do you come up with some of the most beautiful projects? You have that gift. Thank you for sharing with us.

    Thank you Sherry! You are a bright spot in this crazy world and I so appreciate you sharing your creative talent. I love all your creations, especially the rabbit totem. Brilliant!!!

    Good afternoon , Sherry! So excited to see your creative ideas! xoxo, Bobbie. ❤️

    The mirror painted over and roses added us PRECIOUS! What a great idea....looks antique

    I like the thread on the spools, I believe it adds more to the project. The transfer on the tile painting reminds me of the illustrations from the book Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. I am always amazed at people's creativity of repurposing items to breathe new life into things. Thank you for sharing!
  • These are some of my favorite projects you've done. I love the look of the colored thread on the spools on the tray, and I think your rabbit totem looks better than the $750 one!
  • I have to say, as the eldest (63) daughter of a watchmaker, watching you take a hammer to that clock made my heart hurt. But the outcome....oh MY how I ❤ love it!
  • You hit all of these out of the ballpark! My favorite was the shelf clock. I love it and it is much more functional than the two clocks you left at the thrift store. You give me so many ideas, Sherry. Thanks for sharing with us.

    I look forward to your weekly videos. You spark our minds with so many ideas, and provide a little island of tranquility every week to your viewers !
  • Hi, leaving the thread on the spools is indeed part of the charm of the spools. The tray is so cute!!
  • @SD-nh5yr
    Hi Sherri! I love the way you incorporate bird figures into your creations.....so sweet and relaxing to look at! ❤❤❤

    I was unsure about the totem at first but after seeing your version I now want to try and make one myself. It is so unique and looks good inside and out. And that clock tower/shelf was just as great.
